Question

Rearrange the following words / phrases to form meaningful sentences:-
(i) returned / I / an appalling / there / when / was / spectacle.
(ii) did not / Wanda / there / was / because / she / sit / rough / and / noisy.

Answer 1

Hint:The structure of a sent is subject+verb+object. The subject is the doer of the verb and the focus of the sentence. The subject is often a noun. An article precedes the noun. The noun is then followed by a verb which adds more information to the noun and then finally followed by the object. We will follow the same pattern to rearrange the given words to form a meaningful sentence.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse both the sentences individually and rearrange them to form a meaningful sentence with the help of the above stated hint.
1. returned / I / an appalling / there / when / was / spectacle:- The subject here is ‘I’, and the verb is ‘returned’. The object is ‘spectacle’ and the adjective ‘appalling’ describes the object ‘spectacle’. Therefore, the correct sentence is:-
“When I returned there was an appalling spectacle.”

2. did not / Wanda / there / was / because / she / sit / rough / and / noisy:- Here, the noun ‘Wanda’ is our subject which will be followed by the verb ‘sit’. Conjunction ‘because’ occur in the middle of the sentence as it reasons a cause. This makes ‘she’ the object followed by ‘was rough and noisy’ which adds meaning to the object. Therefore, the correct sentence is,
“Wanda did not sit there because she was rough and noisy”.

Note:A sentence is a group of words that is arranged in a particular sequence to be meaningful. If the sequence of its containing words is not correct, a meaningful sentence is not formed. Example:- She is a strong girl (correct). Strong is she girl (Incorrect).
